CHAPTER IX. “FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS” - Art. III. FOR MISSIONS IN PAGEN COUNTRIES – II. Prayers
613. O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise Him, all ye peoples; for His mercy is confirmed upon us: and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever (Ps. 116).
V. Let the people praise Thee, O God.
R. Let all the people praise Thee.
Let us pray.
O God, our Protector, behold and look upon the face of Thy Christ, who gave Himself a redemption for all, and grant that from the rising of the sun even to the going down, Thy Name may be great among the Gentiles, and in every place sacrifice and a clean oblation may be offered unto Thy Name. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. An indulgence of 3 years. A plenary indulgence on the usual conditions, when these prayers have been recited daily for a month (S. P. Ap., Nov. 9, 1920 and June 5, 1936).
There are no more current grants that are specific to prayers for missions. But every prayer may be eligible for a partial indulgence, under Grant 15. The specific reference in the 'Manuel of Indulgences' is as follows: A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who for their personal edification devoutly spend time in mental prayer.

V. Confounded be all they that worship graven images;
R. And that glory in their idols.
Let us pray.
O God, who wilt have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth: send forth, we beseech Thee, laborers into Thy harvest and grant them to speak Thy word with all confidence; that Thy word may run and be glorified, and that all peoples may know Thee, the only true God, and Him whom Thou hast sent, Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord: Who liveth and reigneth with Thee world without end. Amen. An indulgence of 3 years. A plenary indulgence once a month on the usual conditions, if these prayers are devoutly said daily (S. P. Ap., Nov. 9, 1920 and June 5, 1932).
Every prayer may be eligible for a partial indulgence, under Grant 15. The specific reference in the 'Manuel of Indulgences' is as follows: A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who for their personal edification devoutly spend time in mental prayer.

616. O God of love! In all humility and confidence I offer Thee the immaculate Heart of Mary together with the loving Heart of Jesus our Lord, who gave Himself upon the Cross of Calvary and still offers Himself upon the altar to sanctify and save the souls of men. In loving union with this sacrifice of infinite value, I offer Thee my whole being, O my God, and all my prayers and sufferings, all my sorrows and labors, my life and my death, in order to fulfil Thy divine will in my own soul, to sanctify all missionaries and their native clergy, to obtain the grace of perseverance for their converts as well as the conversion of all sinners and unbelievers in their missions. An indulgence of 500 days. A plenary indulgence on the usual conditions, if this act of oblation is devoutly said daily for a month (S. P. Ap., Nov. 25, 1920 and June 5, 1933).

O blessed Columbanus, who, in thy zeal for the extension of Christ's kingdom, and the salvation of souls, didst spend thy life in suffering and exile, assist and protect, we humbly implore thee, the missionaries of our day, who have devoted their lives to preaching the Gospel throughout the world. Obtain for them, we beseech thee, that prudence and fortitude, by which thou didst overcome the dangers which beset thy path and that firm faith and ardent charity which enabled thee to endure gladly the privations of this life, for the love of Christ. Assist and protect us also, dear Saint Columbanus, so to live for God's glory, that when our pilgrimage through life is over, we may enjoy with thee the eternal rest of heaven. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. An indulgence of 300 days (S. P. Ap., Jan. 5, 1924 and June 5. 1935)
Approved prayers may be said on the memorial of any saint listed in the calendar, according to Grant 21.

CHAPTER VII. - “THE SAINTS” – Art. IV “IN HONOR OF OTHER SAINTS” - XXXVI. SAINT COLUMBANUS, CONFESSOR
549. A prayer to St. Columbanus for missionaries is found under n. 618.
*** (S. P. Ap., Jan. 5, 1924 and June 5, 1935)
This traditional indulgence # 549 is just a placeholder so that the prayer to St. Columbanus could be placed under two categories.
CHAPTER IX. “FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS” – Art. IV. For the Conversion of Non-Catholics – III. Prayers
625. Lord Jesu, merciful Saviour of the world, we humbly beseech Thee by Thy Most Sacred Heart, that all the straying sheep may turn unto Thee, the Shepherd and Bishop of their souls: Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen. An indulgence of 500 days (Pius X, Rescript in his own hand, Oct. 26, 1905, exhib. Nov. 3, 1905; S. P. Ap., June 5, 1933).
Due to this prayer mentioning the desire of unity, this prayer is covered under Grant 11. The specific reference in the 'Manuel of Indulgences' is as follows: A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who devoutly recite an appropriately approved prayer for the unity of Christians
This concludes the Traditional Indulgences
Every prayer/practice that we evaluated today is taken from the last approved publication of the Raccolta. The Raccolta was once the official book/document/list of approved Indulgences. In its last publication there were 780+ individualized prayers/practices that were approved for gaining indulgences.
In 1967 indulgence practices were revised so that indulgences are now, today, granted more in the style of “category” of prayers/practices rather than individually. This leaves me with the question: how do the indulgenced prayers/practices from the Raccolta (traditional indulgence) line up with the indulgences of today? That question is what this “study” seeks to answer.
